Susan + Erik

This summer my associate, Erica, has been busy helping me in the office and shooting weddings of her own. She has just done a phenomenal job with her shooting and I couldn’t be happier! I wanted to share some of the work she has done this summer.

Susan and Erik were married in Cornelius and Susan just thought of so many cute details! Here are a few of the pictures:

And this wedding was before the “Sex and the City” movie, and when I saw her blue shoes for the “something blue” I thought she was so clever……apparently Carrie Bradshaw thought so too!

The two together……

And off they go….on a motorcycle no less! Love it!

Emily + David

Several weeks ago I had the privilege of documenting Emily and David’s wedding. The wedding day was just perfect! They were married at New Jerusalem Lutheran Church and the reception was held at Rock Barn Golf and Spa. I wish the best to the both of you!

Some getting ready shots:

The boys….(mostly State grads, but we won’t hold that against them!)

A few around Rock Barn….a really beautiful place!

And a dancing shot…..(thanks to Jay of Rick Reynolds Productions for the nice lights!)

Back to School with the Freckled Frog!

Well, it is already time to get ready for school! It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and it is time to sharpen those pencils and get ready to stuff the brain full of knowledge goodness! In order to celebrate this time of year, the Freckled Frog has invited me to join her on August 23rd for a party! Details are below and don’t procrastinate because appointments will quickly fill up!

Newborns

I have had such a great summer and the surprise has been just how many newborns I have been able to meet and work with! I just love shooting newborn sessions….seeing mom and dad so happy and enjoying a little time away from work to take care of their new little bundle of joy is so nice. I thought I would share a few from a recent newborn session.

This is baby Amelia……

Eli the pug was especially protective of his new house mate. He stayed close and kept an eye on me….what a cute dog!

New Stuff!

After being gone for a week I am back with something that I am so excited about! I have teamed up with Bada’s boutique to provide these great bags that are personalized with your very own picture! I can use any picture from a previous session or we can schedule a new session so that you have a current picture that you can show off to all of your friends, families, and co-workers. These are great gifts for grandparents, moms, aunts, etc. You can even get a gift certificate for a mom-to-be! Be sure to contact me soon to book your appointment. Believe it or not, Christmas is right around the corner and I anticipate a busy season!

There are three sizes to choose from and fabric swatches in a multitude of colors and patterns so that you can customize exactly the way you’d like!

Here’s the diaper bag:

It comes with a matching changing pad.

We have a tote bag that is perfect for day to day use.

We also have a fun, smaller handbag.

You will notice that they all have inner pockets for convenient storage. And every bag has a magnetic snap to close them with.

The prices are:

Diaper Bag: $175

Tote Bag: $150

Handbag: $95

It is possible to get two pictures on the diaper bag and tote bag for an additional $15. The turn around time for the bags is 3 weeks and the Christmas cut-off is Dec. 1st. (Yikes! Can’t believe I am talking about Christmas already!)

*****and a note to photographers that may be interested in providing this to your clients…..I do have a photographer’s program available so please email me if you are interested. dana@orangecatphoto.com**************

Emily + David

This past weekend I had the honor of photographing Emily and David’s wedding here in Hickory. I thought I would share some of their engagement pictures while I go through the wedding photos. They are high school sweethearts so we had to make a stop at Fred T. Foard high school first.

And then we drove over to her parents’ house, which is on a beautiful location. We were lucky that these yellow flowers were blooming!

Just a few today….got a lot to do!

Kerbie + Brandon

Well my associate, Erica, has been busy this summer and I have yet to blog about what she is up to so I thought it was about time! A couple of weeks ago she met with the beautiful Kerbie and equally stunning Brandon for their engagement session. They started at Duke Gardens and moved to Carolina’s campus. (now you know why I chose this one to start with! haha!) Yep, you guessed it, Kerbie and Brandon are fellow Tar Heels! Erica did a fabulous job! It looks as though they had a great time together for the shoot…despite the heat!

Don’t they look like they could be models?!

*Love* the yellow dress!

And a fun shoot by the old well!

Aspen + Jay

I was so excited about this wedding, but a little sad at the same time because I have really enjoyed working with Aspen over the past year. Well, she finally married the love of her life several weeks ago and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. They were married at Shuford Gardens in Hickory with a reception at Lake Hickory Country Club. Aspen did not forget one detail and the whole day was inspiring. Jay was the perfect groom; happy and so smitten with his beautiful bride!

Here are a a few images:

They had a reading from The Velveteen Rabbit that was so touching.

The uber-cool groomsmen. I hate I missed their jam session!

The stunning bride…

And the groom

Aspen is just beautiful.

And the dress is pretty, too!

Loved the colors and the way the tent was decorated.

Finally together!

Happy Independence Day!

Just a quick note from Myrtle Beach wishing all of you a fun-filled, firework-filled, good ole America Fourth of July!

Until next week…..

Tammy + Davis = Austin!

I have been seeing my very good friends, Tammy and Davis pretty often here lately. We did a “belly” shoot several weeks ago….it was so much fun and Tammy looked so good! I think most expecting moms would be jealous! And just about a week ago little Austin was born. He is so sweet and teeny-tiny! Congratulations you two! I am so happy for both of you!

Welcome to the world, little man!

As you can see, he is most happy in mommy’s arms!

****As a side note, Orange Cat Studio will be closed for the fourth Tuesday afternoon until next Monday. If you need to contact me, I will be checking email.********
